This week I taught two lessons that went very well.
The first lesson that I taught was for my CP Biology class. It was regarding the nitrogen cycle. I started out by reviewing food webs and how energy flows through the ecosystem, but most of the energy is lost as heat. I moved into the water cycle from here and since most of the students know the water cycle, I had them walk me through it. I then sent them on a journey through the nitrogen cycle through station learning. We reconvened and reviewed the cycle and had a little review game for our quiz.
The lesson I taught today was regarding Earth's interior, minerals and the rock cycle. I created some graphic organizers. We started out with an activity with clay. I gave notes for the earth's interior and had them look through the text for the information on minerals. We then filled out a graphic organizer for the rock cycle and played the rock cycle game
